This is one of several raptor companions introduced in patch 3.2. It is also the first pet sold by vendor Breanni, the NPC inspired by the creator of this website. Increasing your reputation with the Kirin Tor faction will give you discount on this and other pets sold by Breanni.

Don't be fooled by people selling this on the auction house for 100g+ when checking for pets. You can get it in Dalaran for 50g or less from the gnome herself in infinite stock, depending on your Kirin Tor reputation. ;P You'd think this would be common sense to any pet collector, but my server's AH is overflowing with people reselling these pets on the AH for very inflated prices with the other raptors to trick others into thinking they're rare...

I just realized something. This little guy is almost identical in coloring and in its eyes to the new Venomhide Ravasaur mount. The only thing that it doesn't have that the mount does, is the extra white markings. And, the only thing the pet has that the mount doesn't, are the cute little beads and feathers. That's just awesome!

This little guy was given to me as a gift to start my battle pet collection. Unfortunately, I didn't get the aaw factor from his looks. It wasn't until I starteld leveling some pets that I came to appreciate this guys spunk and go get 'em attitude. He is now my second favourite pet and my highest ranked pet, just due to his gumption. Obee has taught me that there's more than just a pretty face to pet battling! He's won my heart.

While not very strong or fast this is the toughest Raptor there is. 1644 Health will make you last longer and keep beast racial for bonus damage longer. With Screech you will be faster than your opponent so you can still make use of Flank if you are not that into Bite. Devour is excellent in PvE to keep your health up. Exposed Wounds have excellent use in PvP with Flank or combinations with other pets(Immolation or Turret for example). Solid pet.
